aws-health-check

Quickly audit AWS account health risks by scanning for security weaknesses, cost waste, and reliability gaps using AWS CLI account inspection commands. The assessment validates findings directly without guessing or generating unsupported recommendations.

An AWS account health check includes security posture analysis like GuardDuty status and CloudTrail configuration, cost waste detection such as unattached EBS volumes, and reliability reviews covering single-AZ databases and stopped instances.

You can check AWS security posture and reliability gaps without a full Well-Architected review by running a targeted assessment of public resources, risky security groups, RDS exposure, IMDSv2 settings, and idle Elastic IPs.

Yes, you need AWS CLI access to scan your AWS account for operational issues. The health check validates findings by executing account inspection commands directly against your configured region rather than relying on external scanning tools.

The best way to find unattached EBS volumes and idle Elastic IPs is to run an AWS account health check that targets cost waste indicators across your cloud infrastructure, alongside stopped instances and static capacity configurations.

Limitations of this automated AWS account audit include its focus on quick assessments rather than deep operational readiness, meaning it identifies high-impact issues for prioritized remediation but does not replace comprehensive architectural reviews.
